Inspiring and co-developing a North Star framework

A leading Dutch financial publisher was seeking to refine its strategy through a new methodology. The publisher asked FT Strategies to provide the team with the fundamentals for the North Star methodology, inspire their team with industry best practices and help co-create a goal and framework.

FT Strategies engaged the client in over a few weeks engagement including:

• Cross-department client interviews to help shape the workshop design
• Four half day sessions comprising inspiration sessions from FT experts, seminars on industry best practice, and workshops to develop an initial North Star framework and practical course of action
• Delivery of a North Star management tool to ensure ongoing benefits from new techniques learned
  
  

• Identified key opportunities for improvement focusing on engagement and retention
• Empowered the team through the North Star methodology and goal with a clear road forward to build
• A robust strategy
• Helped instill a hypothesis-driven, rigorous methodology to test new ideas
• Defined next course of actions to accelerate their strategy
